It Ain't Silver, But
Haven't had any finds for a while now, having to cut out the halves boxes since last year after sustaining a back injury on top of a deteriorating knee. But I have been hitting the tellers every now and then for customer-returned rolls, and I have found a few 40% halves that way. Mostly though its cents, nickels and dimes that are turned in. A few Ikes hither and yon but nothing worthwhile. Until I get the knee fixed I'm limited as to how much I can carry how far.
Today, however, my luck took a pleasant turn. Doing the latest batch of cents and nickels and I found......
(drum roll please)
A 1903 V nickel! Very worn, no chance of finding a mint mark if there is one, and only the stars on the left-hand side of the face remain. The back is smooth all around the edges but the V is reasonably intact (which is how I spotted it). Fortunately the date is very clear. Based on condition alone it might be worth 50 cents to the right buyer, but its only the 2nd V nickel ever. I'll take it!
